Finding and joining events

Use Events to browse events and find CTF worlds you can join. Each event has its own registration window, event window, access type, and often a team setup step, so it is a good place to start when you are ready to play.

Where to find events

• In the Customer Portal sidebar, click Events. You will see events you can discover or access based on their visibility.
• If an organiser shared a direct link to an event, open that link.
• Use My Events to get back to events you have already registered for.

Open an event card to read the event page, check who hosts it, and see whether registration or access is available. Organisers create events from Worlds, not from the Events page.

How to join

1. Browse events on the Events page (or use a direct link) and choose the event you want to join.
2. When registration is open, click Register. (Sign in if prompted.)
3. For team events, the Team registration modal opens:
   • Choose Create a new team or Join an existing team.
   • Enter a team name (create) or the team invite code (join).
   • If the event is invite-only and the organiser provided an event access code, enter it in the event access field. This is not the same as a team invite code.
   • Click Continue.
4. You are registered. The event appears under My Events when you are signed in.

See Joining or creating a team for team registration in detail.

If you cannot register

• Registration closed - Registration has a start and end time. Outside that window, Register is not available.
• Event full - The world may have reached its user limit or team size limit.
• Invite only - You may need a personal invite link, a shared event access code, or a team invite code depending on the organiser's setup.
• Organisation only - You must belong to the organiser's organisation before you can join.
• Workshop - Some workshop worlds are designed for link-based play and may not use the normal signed-in registration flow.

For more detailed fixes, see Troubleshooting event access.

After you have joined

• Once the event is active during its event period, click Access on the event or event homepage to open the world map and play.
• Shortly before the event starts, Access may open so registered players can enter the event surface and see the countdown. Challenge play still depends on the event start time.
• If the event has not started and the countdown access window is not open yet, you can usually view the event page but cannot enter the map.
• If the event has ended, access and scoreboard visibility depend on the organiser's settings.

When access opens, continue with Navigating the map.
